Got within four feet of Frankie Jonas, so there's that.

Also, his music kinda slaps, ngl.

Any friends in the Moon/Coreaopolis area, my sister's dog got loose tonight. Name's Pepper. She's a black lab/pit mix with a white patch on her chest. Very skittish.

If you see her, let us know. Don't chase her. She'll run. Just sit & try to get her to come to you.

Marc-Andre Fleury 🌸 had the chance to chat with young #LetsGoPens goaltenders Sergei Murashov and Filip Larsson during practice. I asked Fleury what was said and what advice he'd give them:

"You better try hard because I'm coming to take your spot."

Happy retirement, and welcome to the #LetsGoPens coaching staff, Nick Bonino.

Well, that went fast.

Year One of covering the #LetsGoPens for @thehockeynews.bsky.social is in the books. It has been an awesome experience.

Thank you all for following along this season. Stay tuned for offseason coverage, and then it's onward to 2025-26!

The thumbnail for the article's video clip is cracking me up 😅

"I just work here..." 😂😂

All jokes aside, #LetsGoPens forward Bryan Rust "has no doubt" that the organization can turn things around quickly and return to contention ⬇️

"I think I've voted for him every single year I've been in this league."

I asked #LetsGoPens defenseman Erik Karlsson on Sidney Crosby being voted in the #NHLPAPlayerPoll as the league's most complete player for the sixth consecutive season:

One of my earliest hockey memories is Mike Lange's call on Darius Kasparaitis's Game 7 overtime goal in 2001. That game - and his voice - are what sparked my earliest interest in hockey.

Pittsburgh, and the world, lost a great one tonight. Rest easy, Mike Lange. You'll be sorely missed.

Can't blame Canadians for being angry when these are 2/3 the comments on the USA victory posts over on the other hellsite.

Probably not even a hot take, tbh:

Chris Kreider over Bryan Rust for #4Nations is aging like milk.

The world just got a bit dimmer.

Words can't describe how amazing a human our family lost this morning. We were very close, and she stuck around as long as she could.

She went peacefully. That's all we could ask for. But grief still sucks.

Rest in peace, Grammy. I miss you.
